e30 2.7

[c94bko]

Hi all new here just want to know how much would I expect to pay for a m20 2.7 engine

[ross_jsy]

Depends how it's built/who built it and they don't tend to come up to often

[c94bko]

It's a standard 525e block he's used a late 320i head apart from that standard

while we are talking 2.7`s and not worth starting a new thread,i was swapping my engine over for a spare one today and noticed on the head on mine it says 2.5 in a little circle casting number and on this new one it says 2.5 and 2.7 (see pic ) what does this mean

[Speedtouch]

It's just the generic numbers they stamped on the later 885 heads, as used on the 325i, and some 2.7 engines.

Thank you

late on they built for europe and USA the "super eta" engine which was the same old 325e but with a later 885 casting head fitted instead of the older style 731 heads. thats where the 2.5 2.7 bit comes from. Same power as before but with much better tuning potential as folks found out

Early pre facelift 325i heads only have 2.5 stamped in this place, but will be 85/86 castings. Poss 87 too

i think you need a set of new plugs !!!!

[sunnysr]

Ha yes it was just a spare engine its getting new plugs and everything before it get started ,I doubt them rusty pegs would do much .
